(2016) PF De'Ron Davis to IU

[Stuhoo]

Davis has had multiple technicals this season which is clearly a red flag.  I don't know the story on these...was he yelling at refs?  Opponents?  Hanging on rims?  What gives?

 

According to a reputable 247 poster, he was T'd up recently for...

 

dunking in warmups.

 

Yes; it's a rule.

[Bobman1]

probably a little tenacity. He and TB ought to be a hoot. 2 FIERCE competitors with an attitude. that charisma matched with OG's desire and effort proves to be 3/5 of a grit filled, put it in your freaking face, take your lunch and eat too montra for next year. I'm down with that!!

With Colin and Juwan providing extra depth off the bench, I'm starting to really like the team we may have next year. Rojo and JBJ should handle the guard duties well.

not scoring a lot lately but seems to be doing everything else and winning.

[Hovadipo]

Number 51 in the new ESPN rankings. Can't remember where he was before, but I feel like he moved down.

I think he was 47 before

[Hovadipo]

I think he was 47 before

That sounds right.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

That sounds right.

yeah, started at 1 as a youngster. Hung around 10-15 for a while. Slid to 30-50 range this past year.

Not too worried about it. His team wins and he stuffs the stat sheet in all categories. Not averaging a high total in PPG but that seems common for BIGS in HS.

‏@GarySharp1620: Indiana's Tom Crean at Overland (CO) checking on his 6-10 signee De'Ron Davis. Overland is future O South opponent.

Hoosier signee De'Ron Davis had 22 points, 15 rebounds and six blocks last night in Overland's 63-55 win at Cherokee Trail. 6-8 FG, 10-12 FT

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I like that I consistently see good free throw numbers for DD. we won't have to hold our breathe as long from the stripe. I think Crean values good free throw shooters as he should. For the most part, we've had good free throw shooting teams.

On that note, Sheehey was a strangely modest free throw shooter. Had some bad misses. Career 67%.

I think this is the difference between a good team and a GREAT team. Izzo's teams always have a tough time at the stripe and same with Kentucky. And Wisconsin was top 10 last year I believe. MSU was 336 out of 351 teams last year in FT % at 63%. Yikes

Wow. TB, DD, OG, JM. Some serious size next year.

Best frontcourt of the CTC era??

In depth I'd say it is, but I'd take CZ and Watfords versatility over that.

[chitown hoosier]

Problem was there was nothing after them. I like the depth of next years front court better. Both OG and JM are very versatile players. Should be even better next year.

Plus Watford didn't really have a post game. I think the members of next years potential front court will rebound better than Watford too but none of them are going to shoot like him. In other words it will be a whole other kind of front court from Watford and Zeller (not saying either one is better than the other)

Wow. Always had him pegged as the 6'8-6'9 guy. That's pretty awesome if true.

Same here. Figured he would be the starting 4 guy.  Still may, but at 7 feet, we may have 2 5 guys starting lol.  

 

Not saying he will, but would be interesting if that happened.
